End of Season Awards nominations: Enterprise National League South

We can now confirm the shortlist for the Enterprise National League South End of Season awards.

The winners will be announced at our Awards Evening on Saturday 6 June. 

You can follow along on National League social media channels for live updates across the evening.

Here's who is up for the awards...

First up, we take a look at the Player of the Season nominees, with all four worthy of the gong.

Brad Dolaghan was division's top scorer with 23 goals. He was a constant menace to defences all campaign - a Woodside Road academy graduate who has come through the system to become one of the club's most important assets.

Angelo Balanta is most experienced player on this list by some distance, and arguably the most influential. The 35-year-old Colombian forward, who has previously played for QPR, Bristol Rovers, Carlisle and Dagenham, finished the season with 21 goals for Hornchurch - a veteran operating right at the top of his game and dragging his club into an unexpected Promotion Final.

Louis Britton struck 19 goals for Weston across the campaign, but his most memorable contribution came in the FA Cup, where he scored twice to knock Chelmsford City out and send Weston into the third round for the first time in their history. 

Wiktor Makowski joined Worthing mid-season from Slough Town, having scored 13 goals and contributed nine assists for the Rebels before Adam Hinshelwood moved to sign him for his Rebels. Originally an academy product of Slough Town, he emigrated to Woodside Road and immediately helped fuel the title run-in.

In the Manager of the Season contest, we have a title winner, a Promotion Final winner, someone who inspired his side to defy all the odds and another who pushed all of the above all the way!

Worthing were sitting 15th when Adam Hinshelwood returned for a third spell in charge in early October, with the season threatening to drift away. What followed was extraordinary. A transformation in results, performances and belief that carried Worthing from mid-table to the title.

Marc White founded Dorking Wanderers and has overseen twelve promotions continued his extraordinary story this season. After a mixed start that saw Dorking sit 13th at one point, he steadily turned the tide, eventually pushing all the way to a fourth-place finish and a play-off run. They were eventually beaten 4-2 at Torquay in the semis but another play-off campaign was a fine achievement.

Lee Allinson had an outstanding debut season in management at this level. His Hemel side were conceding barely anything early in the campaign. By the end of the season, they had broken club records for points, clean sheets and league finishing position. He guided a part-time squad into the play-offs before a penalty shootout defeat to Weston-super-Mare – an impressive performance all round.

Daryl McMahon took a club nobody expected into a Promotion Final and deliver the previously unthinkable - National League football for Hornchurch - cementing him as one of non-league's very finest operators. Hornchurch were in the title race on the final day of the regular season, before going on to beat Torquay United in the most dramatic of finals.

For the Young Player of the Season, a few names crop up again! 

Having scored 13 goals and supplied nine assists for Slough Town, Wiktor Makowski was snapped up by Worthing mid-season - a move that proved inspired. A player who had actually come through Slough Town’s academy, he moved to Woodside Road and contributed immediately to a title-winning run.

Sonny Blu Lo-Everton came through Watford's academy, featured in The Guardian's Next Generation 2019 list, and made appearances for Watford's under-23 side as early as age 15. At Torquay he was the engine of a side that reached the Promotion Final.

Henry Hearn signed permanently for Hornchurch in the summer after impressing on loan. The 21-year-old struck nine goals in the league across the campaign - a fine return for a player still finding his feet in senior football and doing so as part of one of the season's most romantic stories. A player manager Daryl McMahon rates highly.

Brad Dolaghan is jewel in Worthing's crown, and arguably the standout young player in the entire division. The division's top scorer with 23 goals, Dolaghan is only 21, a fact that makes his output even more staggering.

This season's awards panel consisted of Matt Badcock (Non-League Paper), Aaron Mclean (DAZN), Joe Pope (Off The Line Blog) and Tom Scott (National League). The panel selected the shortlist for each award before clubs voted on the winners.
